Lorentzian geometry is the geometry of Minkowski spacetime, hence essentially of a Euclidean space, but equipped not with the standard Euclidean Riemannian metric of signature $(+,+,+,…,+)$ (which yields Euclidean geometry) but with the pseudo-Riemannian metric of signature $(−,+,+,…,+).$

Lower bound for domain of exponential map on Lorentzian manifolds

You've waited a long time for an answer. And I am surprised that no one has written one. Let $M=\mathbb{R}\times(0,\infty)$. The exponential map isn't defined at $(x,t)$ for vectors $(u,s)$ with $s<-t …

Let $M$ be a manifold with a conformal structure and a volume measure. How can one reconstru...

A conformal structure with Lorentzian representative produces a conformally invariant causal structure. Causal structure + volume = unique metric is claimed in Bombelli and Meyer (page 2) 1976. I'm un …
